Words for Wednesday

I think the Little Engine that Could was quite the progressive thinker...I mean we all need a little "I think I can" in our life. Thank you all so much for the encouragement you gave from my last post! It really means so much!!! I know that Runner's World did an article last month on running mantras and many people have posted about it. I have always said, after my warm-up, "Time to go to work" and sometimes I turn to "You've got this!" but I'm looking to see if I can upgrade my mantra to really kick me into gear so.........

What do you say to yourself to kick into gear....to get you through a rough patch??

My Mom always said, "This too shall pass" and my favorite is "That which does not kill us will only make us stronger". But I don't know if those are great running mantras....I'm going to keep an eye on this and see if I can find a new one.

I think I need a new mantra too. Running indoors on the treadmill all winter I've gotten used to the clock or the milage countdown to keep me motivated. One thing I always tell myself is "You've got more...keep moving. You've got this. You're killin this." haha.

I use different mantras depending on the situation - of late I've been trying to push myself out of my comfort zone when it comes to pace so my mantra's been "Run Strong, No Fear" - got me through my tempo run yesterday!

well these are both running related - but i like these:"someone is training when you are not, when you race her, she will win" and “Every morning in Africa, a Gazelle wakes up. It knows it must run faster than the fastest lion or it will be killed. Every morning a Lion wakes up. It knows it must outrun the slowest Gazelle or it will starve to death. It doesn't matter whether you are a Lion or a Gazelle... when the sun comes up, you'd better be running.”

Fancy Nancy (the short version)

I come from a long line of champion chip eaters and running is my addiction. I am working hard to stay fit through another pregnancy! This blog is my adventure as a running mom eating as clean as I can and inspiring others along the way! I feel I am “living the dream” because I have an amazing husband, beautiful and healthy daughter, awesome family, and God continues to be always faithful. For that I feel I am living the life I have always dreamed! Want to know more....click the "Who is Fancy Nancy" tab!!!

"Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God." Hebrews 12:1-2
